What a lovely view of rooftops!
Gulong Yu (Island), Xiamen, was historically a foreign enclave for European settlers, where 13 countries including Great Britain, France and Japan established consulates, churches, and hospitals. Thus the architectural styles of old buildings reflect many European influences. Currently, with residents being primarily Chinese, there is an interesting mix of European and Chinese influences. The island is popular with tourists for this special mix of building designs and for having China's only piano museum.
The only way to reach Gulong Yu is by ferry across the bay from Xiamen. Caveat: cars and bicycles are not allowed!
